Iowa cornerback Charles Godfrey grew up in Baytown and played at Lee High School. He's 6-0, 207 pounds and expects to run the 40-yard dash in the 4.3s on Tuesday. He hopes to play for his favorite team.

Godfrey is such a big Texans fan that he has their logo tattooed on his right hand.

"That's my team," he said. "I'm from Texas. That's our NFL team.

"I would love to go home and play for the Texans. They have a team that's really on the rise. They've got a great scheme, and I would love to play for them."

Godfrey spent 15 minutes being interviewed by the Texans.

"They talked to me, got some information from me, told me they were interested and said they were looking forward to seeing me perform (Tuesday)," he said.

The Texans indeed are interested in Godfrey.

"I like him," general manager Rick Smith said. "He's fast and physical, and it's a position of need."
